NETWORKING SOLUTIONS FOR SME COMPANIES

Standard solutions are geared towards SME companies (less than 250 employees), designed to provide professional LAN/WAN networks and IT infrastructure at very affordable prices! Goto our Precision Computers Store if you are looking for special offers on IT equipment such as laptops, servers, LCDs, printers, desktops.

Overview

For companies that typically have less than ± 250 staff, networking and IT products/services offered by Precision Networks would involve the design and installation of a customised WAN/LAN network (using mostly Cisco or Netgear products) and related IT, as well as the ongoing technical support post implementation at very competitive prices.

The choice of which Vendor's products to use for a solution will be dependent on your company's unique business requirements.

How it works

Our aim is to provide you with a "solid" IT solution that is designed with your unique business needs. This means that we ensure certain standards within our clients’ networks and IT right from the start. Having your business needs in mind is important as many networks we encounter have entrenched problems because they are often designed in a piecemeal fashion and without any personal knowledge of the company's unique business needs and circumstances.

Networking Audit: Interviews & Initial Investigation

We would undertake a ‘consulting’ audit of your business needs to help us asses your company’s IT and networking requirements. This means spending time at your offices (over several days).

While the audit carries no actual cost from Precision Networks, we acknowledge you would be accepting some risk by providing us with your valuable working time. However, this is a vital step in the process, since without the commitment of your staff, Precision Networks would not be able to understand you company requirements and working environment effectively. 

Research and Analysis

Subsequently to the on-site visit/s, Precision Networks would analyse the data gathered and establish suitable networking and IT solutions and recommendations that would fit your company’s business needs and circumstances.

Proposal Recommendations  

We would present you with our recommendations and quotations as a proposal document.

In order to bring your network up to standard, our recommendations may include removing, replacing or installing hardware and reconfiguring certain devices on the network.

Many of our solution recommendations would be based around our "Network In A Box" type pre-designed networks, designed specifically with SME companies in mind and which would be customised for your company's unique business needs.

These are template solutions which target different types of companies networking requirements. Each solution has built in flexibility and can be customised to meet your company's unique networking demands. Hence the actual solution proposed for your company would be a variant of one one of these templates based on your company's unique business requirements.

The ultimate goal of this work is to make the network and IT as reliable for our clients’ as possible so as to minimise future IT disruptions. We would also provide financial and non-financial backup where appropriate for each proposal, so that you could asses the business value and impacts.

Financing the Solution

You have the option of financing the solution as either a once off capital investment or using our finance model.

The finance option offers you a highly flexible payment option which allows you to lease and own the technology solution without laying out huge capital and paying high interest rates. You have the option of 3, 4 or 5 year agreements.

To summarise the advantages of using the finance option are:

Implementation

Once you are happy with the proposed solution and give us the go ahead, the implementation will be undertaken over a suitable timeframe as agreed by both parties. Upon completion, Precision Networks would present you with a document that explains exactly how your network works and would contain all necessary information including passwords, diagrams, design reasons, expansion plan options, and resilience (if required). This means that future network changes would easily be facilitated allowing ongoing continuity, as your business needs change.

This report would also provide you with “peace of mind”, since it contains all the information about their network design and decisions behind our choices. This would allow any other IT experts to easily understand the technical aspects of the solution.

Ongoing Support

After completion of the recommended installation of your IT network as determined from the audit, we would look at building an ongoing relationship that is suitable and workable for both parties as required. Hence we would provide you with support for your network and IT as follows:

• Suitable Service Level Agreement

• Telephonically

• Email and Skype

• Remote Network Access (with your permission) using a secure connection.

• On site visit as required.
